"Waiting is the hardest part!"
Su Chen stared at the time on his phone, an expression of utter despair on his face as he lay sprawled on his bed.
It was already 11:50 PM. There were still about twenty minutes until the system upgrade was complete, making each minute feel like a year to Su Chen.
Time ticked by, second by second, and Su Chen was about to fall asleep from the wait.
"DING! System upgrade complete. Please explore the relevant functions on your own, Host!"
Hearing the mechanical voice in his mind, Su Chen’s drowsiness instantly vanished and he shot bolt upright in bed.
"System!"
Su Chen saw a flash, and the familiar azure-blue panel appeared before him. Only this time, it had undergone a massive change!
[Advanced God of Wealth System] (Current version is the final version)
[Host: Su Chen]
[God of Wealth Blind Box Shop: Refreshes one Blind Box Gift Pack at 12:00 AM on the 1st of every month. Purchase price is random. The gift pack’s contents are uncertain and depend entirely on the Host’s luck!]
[Inventory: Advanced God of Wealth Gift Pack, various stock share agreements, etc.!]
[Advanced God of Wealth: I’ve Got Nothing But Money! (Monthly spending limit of one billion, automatically resets at 12:00 AM on the 1st of every month)]
[The system’s accumulated cash reward for this month, fifty-seven or fifty-eight million, will be automatically deposited tomorrow!]
Su Chen was a little dumbfounded as he looked at the radically changed system. He had originally thought that after the upgrade, his monthly system income would be at least a billion or more, but now it was capped at a maximum of one billion.
On top of that, there was the Blind Box Shop, which required him to spend his own money. But the most crucial part was that the contents were uncertain and depended entirely on his own luck!
Based on Su Chen’s years of experience with Tencent’s gacha games, he knew he was one of those unlucky players who only ever got the guaranteed pity pulls and nothing more.
’With a face that’s only a tiny bit more handsome than the average Joe, I doubt I’ll get anything good!’
After a brief complaint, Su Chen turned his attention to the gift pack the system had given him after the upgrade.
"System, open the Advanced God of Wealth Gift Pack!"
[The Advanced God of Wealth Gift Pack has been opened. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: IPS Security Company, world-class hacking skills, and 10nm-3nm chip technology!]
Hearing the mechanical voice in his mind, Su Chen’s grin stretched nearly from ear to ear.
"Hahahahaha!" Su Chen put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly.
"DING! Does the Host wish to claim the rewards?" The system’s notification cut off Su Chen’s laughter.
"Claim them! Only a fool wouldn’t!" The words had barely left Su Chen’s mouth when he thought of something and quickly said, "System, don’t claim them yet—"
After waiting for about ten seconds with no response from Su Chen, Jiang Hui raised his hand and knocked again, this time noticeably louder than before.
Another ten seconds or so passed. Jiang Hui glanced back at Chen Fei, a hint of unease in both their eyes.
In an instant, they both decided to open the door and go in.
Su Chen’s bedroom door wasn’t locked from the inside. Jiang Hui pushed the door open and immediately saw Su Chen lying quietly on the bed, the blanket pinned tightly underneath him.
The sight gave both of them a huge shock. Jiang Hui and Chen Fei quickly rushed over.
"Sir! Sir, wake up!" Jiang Hui called out twice. When Su Chen didn’t respond, he even reached out to check the carotid artery on his neck...
Chen Fei, standing to the side, was also getting anxious. "How is he?"
Jiang Hui was also baffled. He could clearly feel a strong pulse from the carotid artery, but he just couldn’t wake Su Chen up.
"He has a pulse, but why won’t he wake up?!" Jiang Hui quickly made a decision. "Chen Fei, carry Sir. We’re going to the hospital!"
Chen Fei didn’t waste a second. He immediately moved to pick Su Chen up in his arms.
Just then, Su Chen, having just finished absorbing the hacking skills in his mind, slowly opened his eyes...
When he saw that he was in Chen Fei’s arms, he was completely stunned. "What the hell are you two doing? Where are you trying to carry me off to?"
